Notion is great but it is not as dumb. It has a learning curve but once you get it, it works great. But the greatest thing about notion is the software itself. It never hangs, even with adding complexity, it works great. It’s a 10/10 from software perspective.

I discovered Notion halfway through my bachelor's degree and it felt like a cheat code for productivity. I'm now close to finishing my masters and still use it everyday. Very interesting to see the journey behind it!

So cool to "meet" the poeple who save humble dyslexic students, like me. To now have a note/organisation app system that they can trust.

One of the best consumer software products ever! It's gives the feeling of Zen so much that it justifies the fact that the product was built in Japan.
